We are not aware of any stakeholders who appear at the Workers' Compensation Board, including employers and insurance carriers, who support the current proposed regulations in their entirety.Privately,workers' compensation law judges, who will be charged with implementing these regulations, admit that these regulations are counter-productive and will increase litigation and delay the timely resolution of claims.

We are hopeful that Governor Patterson and his staff will take a close look at all of these objections prior to implementing any of these regulations. This is the WCA - Protecting the Rights of Injured Workers!
